-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Sudan qualified for the quarterfinals of the Africa Cup of Nations after beating Burkina Faso 2-1 at the Estadio de Bata on Monday , ending a four-decade wait for victory at the tournament .

Two goals in either half from Mudather Eltaib was enough to secure second place in Group B ahead of Angola , who lost 2-0 to Ivory Coast at the Estadio de Malabo .

Eltaib gave Sudan the lead in the 33rd minute when he sidefooted past keeper Daouda Diakite .

It stayed that way until the 80th minute when Eltaib found the target again , capitalizing on a mistake by Diakite before firing home into an empty net .

Burkina Faso skipper Moumouni Dagano managed a consolation goal moments before the end , but it could n't stop Sudan recording a first win in the competition for 42 years to set up a meeting with Group A winners Zambia on February 4 .
